be happy - Saturday, September 25, 2004

i often hear students out here in Waterloo complain about how this town is somewhat dreary/boring. being a student myself, i can kinda relate to this...you wake up in the mornings after picking your brain late into the night before to finish an assignment that was due 2 days ago, only to go to yet another mundane morning lecture. it's hard to get motivated sometimes, hard to keep your morale up. i for one found it really hard to be able to juggle the responsibilities of attending class, studying, group projects, extra-curricular activities, cooking, sleeping, eating, etc...and still manage to keep a smile on my face during the day. so what's the secret? how do you maintain a positive outlook on life when it feels like your life is just an endless swamp of essays and labs? well, i've found something that works for me, and it might work for you too. i know it might not work for all students, but i do know that once you find that one little thing (keep it simple) that is able to brighten your day everyday, your life as a student will be just that much better.
